This flower was growing at Cape Tribulation at the place where we were staying. The first two images were taken at that place, and the third one was taken at the Cairns Botanical Gardens. The Bat Flower is an exotic tropical perennial from South-East Asia and Africa and is a rainforest plant. It is highly prized with deep purple-brown and white flowers which look black at first glance. From these striking flowers, clusters of tiny orchid like purple pods and 30 cm long whiskers hang down. The plant produces 10 to 12 of these amazing flowers in one flowering season. The plants will reach flowering size in about three years and is an excellent indoor pot plant in temperate areas but in tropical or subtropical areas it can be grown outside in borders or as an understorey plant. Like many ferns, its lush, green, heavily veined foliage benefits from good, but not full sunshine.
